Problems in delegation involve inaccurate communication as to what is desired and lack of motivation and/or skills of the employees.

However, with less skilled tasks done by employees, this leaves the manager free to devote more time to task that only they can do. (As a hospital volunteer, I provide services that nurses can provide (answering non-medical questions, transporting patients, directing relatives and other visitors), but this leaves nurses free to do more skilled tasks that only they are qualified to do.)
